If you have a question for how to get Rover to do something that you think it can do, or want to share a trick or idea for a clever use for Rover or way to customize it, please post a comment here.
Or post a feature request for Rover if it's something Rover can't do but you wish it could.

Here's an idea that came from a private message someone sent me: how to make a version of the location list page that uses icons for the locations instead of text?
The answer is to make your own HTML page as a front end to Rover. It's easy to make a URL that goes into any particular page of Rover's, so such a page can be very simple. For instance:
<html><head><title>Rover Front End</title><body>
<a href="rover.asp?show=Living_Room"><img src="livingroom.jpg"></a>
<a href="rover.asp?show=Kitchen"><img src="kitchen.jpg"></a>
<a href="rover.asp?show=Bedroom"><img src="bedroom.jpg"></a>
</body>
You can then add a snippet to links.html to point to it, so you can get back to it from inside Rover any time you like.
First off, thanks for Rover, it is great. I am using Rover to pass html commands via an xml browser. I am trying to figure out what to code in the URL to get the XML browser to 'return' to where it came. The XML content is being fed via a different server all together.
I see how I can use the 'show=' portion of the rover html, but I don't want to show anything else from Rover, just go back to the original XML webpage once an option has been selected. I am not a html programmer (as you probably can tell). In other words once a url is passed to Rover have the XML client connect to something else? Thanks
I've never used an XML browser and I have to admit I have no idea what you're trying to do, let alone how to do it or if it's even possible. I can say that Rover is very definitely not designed to do whatever it is you're doing.
